Red Scarf Girl
Written by: Ji Li Jiang
Junior High and High School
This is a very personal and deeply movingstory about the author's childhood growing up during the Chinese Communist Revolution in the 1960's. Ji Li excels in school, art, and leadership at her school until the day that she is forced to strip herself of all the things that interested her while she and her school mates and family are forced to denounce everything they own and possess to show their loyalty to Chairman Mao and the communist ideals. The determination and character that Ji Li and her family show as their world is being torn apart shows just how strong the human spirit can be in spite of horrible political and social forces.
